Twitter reacts to Chargers’ selection of S Derwin James

With the No. 17 pick in the 2018 NFL draft, the Chargers selected former Florida State safety Derwin James.

James is one of this year’s biggest steals in the first-round. Injuries and a down year for the Seminoles tempered those expectations for him. The final few weeks of the 2017 season, James played out of his mind and reminded everyone that he was a top-15 player. Los Angeles did not hesitate to pull the trigger and draft him when he fell right in their lap.

Here’s the reaction social media had to the selection of James to join the NFL ranks.

The man himself, Skip Bayless sees adding James to the Bolts’ secondary as a unit that can make a big run in the 2018 season.

Raiders' rival, the Chargers, take Derwin James. Has Pro Bowl potential at safety … to pair with the NFL's best cornerback, Casey Hayward of Vanderbilt University. Chargers have Super Bowl potential NEXT YEAR.
